Holy dance like nobody's watching Batman!
What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you?
The answer to this question came to me immediately. And all of it revolves around my appearance.
People judge others the second they see them. It could be the way you're dressed, the way you wear your hair, what or whom you have with you, how you're standing, and even the expression on your face.
This is why women wear makeup, shave, worry about pimples, put goop in their hair, wear contacts, spend too much on clothes, etc.
For me, I know I am more uncomfortable than not because the second I get home from week, I tear off whatever outfit I was wearing and trade it for sweats or sweat shorts.
During the winter I'm usually too cold because I'm a woman and women are supposed to wear skirts or thin pants, heels or other footwear that does not cover the tops of our feet, and form-fitting shirts that are not designed for warmth or comfort.
And on weekends when I am just at home and can wear and look however I want, I never put on makeup or contacts, always throw my hair back in a messy ponytail, and again, am always found in sweats or sweat shorts.
I would love to go to a restaurant wearing sweatpants or out in public without bothering to do my hair, but don't because I know society - and whomever I'm with at the time - deems it not OK.
So if no one was judging, I'd look however I felt comfortable. And would be happy about never having to shave my legs again. Awesome.
